[CLC-Discussion] Repeal of Section 627.428

[RPPTL CLC-Discussion]

It did not fly under the radar for those who represent insurers in extracontractual and coverage litigation.

For bond claims, fees can still be recovered under §627.756, Fla. Stat.  For first party coverage claims the landscape has changed.

Subject: [CLC-Discussion] Repeal of Section 627.428

So how did this repeal of 627.428 fly under the radar?... I don’t recall any discussion on this in our meeting or in Orlando in March… appears to affect performance bond claims, all first party coverage claims demanding liability coverage or defense from carriers, etc… I think we need someone knowledgeable to inform our members of the effect of this repeal on construction claims and practices…
